Man with the Facts
Be Of Good Faith
Letters are pretty important things. You never can tell
by the enevelope just what you are going to find inside—
heartease or heartbreak, tragedy or triviality, inspiration
or despair.
The other day I received a letter that had in it one
.sentence which has haunted me ever since" "Hell is the
absence of hope and of faith." Here are some of the
thoughts it has aroused.
When you lose faith in a person, you lose more than
that person. You chip off your faith in other people. You
become unsure of your own judgment. Instead of making
.allowances for a certain number of wrong guesses about
people, you put undue stress on your disappointment. Instead of crossing that person out of your life, once careful
and objective checking proves your loss of faith;is justified,
you let it continue to distress you. You build up your own
hell.
When a nation loses faith, what happens ? First it loses
faith in its leader. In the beginning this is one leader, but
it too soon resolves itself into losing faith in all leaders.
[Then the collective mind becomes chaotic and prey to all
sorts of suggestions. "If this is not true, then nothing is
true. Tlien there is no reason why we should not follow
any course that may seem momentarily easier." And that
is the beginning of the end of that nation, and its descent
into hell" :
. When you lose hope, the light has been turned out in'
your heart. It makes no particular difference what that
hope is;—for whatever form it takes, it is a hope of security
—security of body, of mind, or of the spirit. What should
be a natural perquisite, of mankind becomes vague and chimerical. A much-torbe-desired goal which, if it is ever even
faintly glimpsed, inspires gratitude. A very wise man once
told me—"It is a tragic thing when men are grateful for
their, just deserts." Good is just as real as evil. We should
epcpect'the good to happen, not await the evil in dreadful
anticipation. Loss of hope is the door that shuts us into
hell.
When a ttatioii loses hope, it has lost not only its future
but its memory of the past. Since it cannot look ahead, the
things behind it—the work, the dreams, the plans—are
meaningless. It is no longer a nation—just a collection of
despondent people, ready to seize on new alliances, to swarm
into another alien hive. It has died in its own hell.
What is the answer? It lies within the individual.
Faith and Hope must be capitalized. Not faith in the individual man, but faith in God's goodness. Not hope for
material benefits of another's bringing, but hope in the
reward of our own work well done. We make our own hell.
We can destroy our own hell.
Those Next In Line
When President Johnson delivered his, message to the
joint session of Congress, two members of that body sat
at the desk behind the rostrum. They were House Speaker
McCormack and Senator Hayden, president pro tempore of
the Senate. There stood the President of the United States,
and:behind him were the two men next in line of succession.
sThe matter of succession to the presidency is a harrowing'subject-just now. Some might-say thatdt ds a subject better left undiscussed at this time. But the subject
is an important one, and .the fact is that the public shows
little interest in it except.in moments of crisis.
At the time of President Eisenhower's heart attack,
there was an immense amount of general interest in the
question of succession. Now again there is =talk of the matter. Perhaps this time it can be dealt with, and not merely
discussed.
Without disrespect ,to Speaker McCormack or Senator
Hayden, it can be said that neither would be a likely choice
for president in the ordinary course of years. Both are
iiotably well along in years. McCormack, though still vigorous, is past the age ofvany man ever chosen as /chief
executive. Hayden is an extremely .old-man -who has just
announced that he will retire from the Senate after decades
in office.
One possible solution to the problem .would .be the
prompt choice, of another vice president when one succeeds
to the highest offices This could be'done either'by special
election or through some sort of commission of-top men
in Congress and the judiciary. There are problems in this,
granted. But it is a starting point for discussion.' The-matter of succession-cannot forever be shrugged" aside.
Dead-End Thinking
One of the great dangers in our; rapidly changing'society is what might be called dead-end thinking. 'Phis is the
sort of thinking that deals in .absolutes, that sees things
in terms df black and white, that leaves no way out of
diffculties.:
Dead-end thinking was well illustrated by Clarence
Manion, former dean of the University of Notre. Dame Law
School, in'a recent public address. He spoke of the administration attempts to secure a nuclear test ban agreement
and some measure of arms control as "a one-sided suicide
pact." i
In support of .this extraordinary judgment, Manion
offered the contention thatany- U.S.-Soviet agreement "will
be a-plan for the' unilateral disarmament of the United
Staites in' the" face 6f an enemy that continues-'to be armed
to the.;teeth." This-may,seem true, yet,.accepting it as a
reason to halt negotiations is wholly a dead end. The alternative to negotiation is rising .tension, rising armaments,
rising:dang_r.vbf:a nuclear holocaust.- D^artiuuBeht'.effD'tts
Itf&snot as'hopeless as Manion suggests,'and it is his proposed course i of tuou-negotiatioQ that is potentially suicidal.

scheduled board meeting. This

ahead one week and was held
last Thursday because of the
conflict with tlie Rotary Christmas Party.
Half of last Thursday's meeting was devoted to a presentation by Architect Ralph Dix

Mr. Dix's suggested exterior
treatment of lights on a large
clock.
Mr. Dix showed more 'developed drawings for the six-
classroom addition a t Clear-
mount.
In a progress report distributed to board members and
citizens attending the meeting,
the school administration pointed out that the decision to 'proceed Immediately with the lecture room and Clearmount addition was made in an attempt
to alleviate some over-crowded
conditions by the fall of .1964,
since theiy knew it would be
impossible to have the main
Hoover High addition ready for
the 1964-65 school year. It is
anticipated, however, that this
addition will be ready for the
start of school in thre fall of
1965.
Immediately upon approval
of the plans for the lecture
room and elementary school
addition, Mr. Dix will turn his
efforts toward the plans for the
main Hoover addition.
